hysterectomy
orchidopexy
castration
orchidoplasty

Explanation:

• Progesterone: In canines, progesterone blood tests are crucial for breeding. They help determine the optimal time for mating as progesterone levels rise during the estrus cycle and indicate when the female is most fertile.
• Castration: Castration is the surgical removal of the testicles in male canines. Without testicles, sperm production ceases, making the male sterile.

Answer:

• For the blood - test question: Progesterone
• For the surgical - procedure question: Castration
